Robertson-Dworet, on the other hand, has seen next month's Tomb Raider reboot and Marvel’s Captain Marvel pass through her screenwriting software. She's also logged time on possibly defunct Hasbro projects like M.A.S.K. and ROM, and is also slated to write a new Dungeons & Dragons movie.

For now, however, the two writers are teaming up to whip into shape a story about two women who have been part of Spider-Man's world for years and years. Silver Sable, a mercenary who hunts down war criminals, debuted in the comics back in June 1985, while Black Cat, the superior cat burglar who has been an on-and-off love interest for Spidey, was introduced in July 1979.

How the two characters will work together and make their way in a Spider-verse without Spider-Man actually hanging around -- the same problem that faces this year's Venom movie -- will need to be solved by Robertson-Dworet and Beer rather quickly, as Silver and Black is scheduled to arrive on Feb. 8, 2019.
